The suggested [VIA provides perfect absorption with incident angle and polarization independencies which can be used for various shielding applications. Maximum absorption rate is 99.9% at 2.76 GHz for simulation and 99.4% at 2.82 GHz for experiment, respectively. The experimental results of the fabricated prototype are in good agreement with the numerical simulations. We also present a numerical analysis in order to explain physical interpretation of MA mechanism in detail. Moreover, a sensor application of the proposed MA is introduced to show additional feature of the model. As a result, proposed MA enables myriad potential applications in S band radar and medical technologies. (c) 2014 Elsevier By.
